Well defense was their weakness relatively, and now they just add even more offense. It's just a touring world allstar team now! In their current Asia tour people are paying hundreds of bucks just to see them practice!!! All soccer fans should look forward to see them play this season!
That's the true beauty of having dominant teams. Hardcore fans would support the team no matter what, but you need teams like that and stars like Beckham or Jordan to sqeeze money out of those who don't really understand the sport! You think Japanese school girls would care about a "highly competitive, everybody got a chance to win" spanish soccer league? See how many non-baseball fans are Yankees fans? non-basketball fans that were the Bulls fans?
